In better news: I’m just a few spots from cracking the Top 64 pinball players in Sweden for the year and thus have a realistic shot at reaching the SweCS Finals. Terribly nervous in every tournament due to this.

The formation of a new Swedish government is, currently, an absolute clusterfuck. The party leaders are even dodging the task to try forming one. Madness. This is all due to the immense polarization in politics and the movement towards two blocks, a la republicans vs democrats, and I hate it.

I just got a very angry phone call from my flu-ridden girlfriend, screaming at me for buying cheap single-ply recycled kitchen paper towels even though she explicitly requested the fancy, bleached thick kind. This is what 21 years together comes to and I love it. 🥰

I love this weird shitpost so much that I’ve started using ”pebis” as a short hand for any drink (especially beer) almost daily.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

While testing every DS/3DS game I own, I’m happy when I find my old receipt I chucked into the case. Seems I bought a lot of used video games for REAL cheap in game stores back in the day. Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland for €15 felt particularly neat.

The DS/3DS sure was nice if you were a Dragon Quest enjoyer. Especially since Europe had seen pretty much none of these except VIII.

I'm an absolute sucker for limited Nintendo handhelds—especially with Zelda artwork. Of course that means I now have a certain Switch 2 pre-ordered! The old tradition of giving my girlfriend my previous handheld console continues.

Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!

First billion+ on my own pinball machine. Managed to reach Cygnus X-1 Book 1 - The Voyage but had horrible jackpot values and botched it. A lot of points from Bastille Day. Tried to always go for it in multiball and the 1.19 Rush code has a longer timer. Had one mode left for Cygnus X-1 Book 2 🙃

With his head in his hands, the young man says “what do I do glyptodon?” Panel 3: the glyptodon says “I’m like an early ancestor of armadillos. The young man angrily replies, “are you even listening man?”

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. Full post: vgmdb.net/forums/showt...
20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. It was technically the third album page, but the first two pages were database tests that were deleted. I chose the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack because it was a favorite of mine, but it is also a fitting tribute to the impact that this soundtrack had in inspiring new game music fans. Of course, at that time, we were an experimental special project on Gamingforce Audio, and it would be a little more than a year before we relaunched as VGMdb.

It is interesting to reflect back over the last two decades, and examine how much our coverage has matured. Our scope broadened to include animation around 2009, as we re-branded to "The Music of Visual Arts and Games."  The scope of our coverage would see further adjustment over the years, and while this has posed challenges at times, our central pillar has been and always will be game music.  In parallel to this, our ontology has become steadily more detailed as we added a flexible artist crediting system that really glues together the album, product, and publisher pages. 

There are more than 158,000 album pages on VGMdb, spanning over 3 million individual tracks, and almost as many artist credit links. It would not have been possible to catalog all of this information without the help of public editors, and in fact, there are 6161 individual accounts that have submitted data to VGMdb. We are eternally thankful for all of your contributions, and more so for being patient during the evolution of our more stringent requirements for sourcing and accuracy.

So, as we near our official 20th anniversary, we at VGMdb are excited about the future. There are some things moving behind the scenes that we are looking forward to sharing with you soon.
